Class Spotlight – The Protector
By CrabClaw @ October 12, 2010 at 3:49pm
They're nine feet tall, carry hammers the size of people, and are regularly seen carrying dwarves on their shoulders. They're the Stonemen, aka the Protector class!
This class is where the "tank" in the word tank comes from. Looking as if they've been carved out of a granite slab, the Protector class is a race of men made entirely out of stone. Naturally, this allows them access to a vast array of abilities to both absorb incoming attacks, as well as deliver bone-crushing assaults.
In a group formation, the Protector is the first line of defense in keeping everyone else out of harms' way. With aggro-generating attacks and shouts, the Protector keeps the enemies' attention focused entirely on him.
As a Protector absorbs incoming damage, their special racial ability – known as Fury – gradually accumulates. many skills and abilities become more powerful with more Fury accumulated. Therefore, the longer a fight lasts, the more powerful a Protector becomes! Some skills directly consume Fury points, for a quick boost to damage or protection abilities. Wise use of accumulated Fury points can easily turn the tide of a battle.
This class is perfect for players interested in both dominating the battlefield with their presence, while simultaneously keeping everyone else out of harm's way. It's also great if you want to be twice as tall as every other class in the game. They can also probably open jars really easily. What's not to love?

With the launch of Phase 1 of the Forsaken World closed beta, we have noticed a great deal of confusion regarding beta keys and how they function. We have had a record number of players redeem beta keys for the Forsaken World closed beta. However, many of these same people have found that they can't log in to play now that Phase 1 has launched. This letter will hopefully clear up the cause for this, and address this issue in way that will satisfy anyone unhappy with the situation. Redeeming a Forsaken World beta key has one guaranteed effect: it will get you into the closed beta of Forsaken World. However, the closed beta for Forsaken World is broken up into phases. These phases are designed to gradually let people into the game, and is not an all-encompassing section of the beta test. Future phases will let more and more people in, until every single person with an activated beta key will have access to the game. This is why your beta key is worth having, because by applying it, you are reserving your spot for closed beta testing as it moves forward. We want to apologize to anyone that felt mislead, or was confused over how the beta process is proceeding. We understand that there are a huge number of players that want to get their hands on Forsaken World. The time will come when anyone with an activated beta key will be able to test out the game for themselves before the launch of open beta. At this point in time, no additional beta keys will be created. Please feel free to continue contributing feedback and suggestions about anything related to Forsaken World , whether it be the beta process or a game play related issue. We value everyone's opinions, and are thankful for the continued support offered by our community. - Perfect World Entertainment this is teh mail that i got, you guys probably need to read this i got this somewhere but I THINK YOU GUYS WANNA READ THIS SO NO ONE GETTING ALL MAD....

A Stoneman Protector is from the earth and a Untame Barb is a meat eating Animal both are bad to the bone if you known what I mean they take damage and deal damage. I like that, let's get busy and play the game.
